Bind-off 2 [2, 3, 3] stitches at the beginning of the next two rows.

((((NOTE: I like to form *slanted decreases* at the front edges as follows:

RS: beginning DEC=SSK; last DEC=K2TOG

WS: beginning DEC=P2TOG; last DEC=SSP

When you end up with just 2 stitches left, work DECs at the front edges slanting TOWARDS the marker.))))

Dec one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until 1 stitch remains before the markers on the left and right fronts.

Bind-off all stitches.
